181.FM - POWER 181 I was a little worried when I heard you were sick. I guess you can't keep the Kennishes down, huh? Speaking of, how's your dad? Much better, thanks. This morning he actually ate tofurkey. (Online Radio) Good. Well, as you know, I'm considering you for intern of the year, and I'm asking everyone the same question. Do you feel like you've made a difference this summer? Well... to be honest, I mostly just took this job so I could spend more time with John. I'm not really interested in politics. Really? I have to say I'm surprised to hear that. I mean, I read about what happened at Online Radio. Well, that was different. I mean, it's my school. You know, I've interviewed a dozen interns today, and you're the only one who isn't shamelessly selfpromoting. Why is that? I just mean... that I've been distracted a lot lately with my dad's heart attack and everything. I mean, let's face it... this job's really just getting people lunch and doing whatever needs to be done around the office. I'm a whiz with the copy machine. Oh. It's funny you should say that actually. I found this article... on abstinenceonly education in my inbox the day before the education vote. Somebody said they saw you distributing it around the office? I distribute a lot of material, not just stuff for my dad. Hmm. Well, that's too bad. This article was the reason I changed my vote. It was? Well sure. I mean, it's hard to argue with the facts. Right? Took a lot of flack from my own party, but I always say it's important to vote with your conscience. You understand that's what I did, right? Yes. Of course you do. I can tell you really get how things work around here, Daphne. You know, I'm not really sure I'm following. I think you are. You know, politics can be a dirty business. I mean, people get entrenched along ideological lines, they end up doing things that can ruin lives. And when that happens, it's natural for people to want to retaliate. And that can get really ugly, politically speaking of course. Of course. And there are always consequences. (Keys jingle) 181.FM - POWER 181 What happened? Coto knows everything. He said that? Not directly, but he made it pretty clear he's gonna retaliate somehow. He's bluffing. I don't think so. Even if he's not, we still have the upper hand. He's a senator who changed his vote 'cause he got his intern pregnant. We're just two kids who sent a text message. We'll get a slap on the wrist, but his career will be over. What are you doing? I'm telling him that. Are you insane? I don't know who's scaring me more right now, you or him. I'm not gonna let him win. Win? My God, I don't care about winning. I just want to stay out of jail. We have an opportunity here to make some real change with this guy, to keep directing him towards votes that will actually help people. If we let him scare us off, things will go right back to the way they were. Come on. David never gets to slay Goliath, not in real life. I'm sick of lying to everyone. This is not who I am and you and I are done. (Sighs) Can I have my phone back? I'm sorry. Yeah. Me too. What are you doing? I'm sending that text to Coto. internet Radio, please don't do that. You're not my girlfriend. I don't have to listen to you anymore. 181.FM - POWER 181 Oh. Hi, honey. Hey, can I talk to you for a second? It's kind of important. Yeah. Of course. Um... things between Online Radio and me have been... changing. Oh. Nothing bad, just... we're rethinking some things. And I was wondering... you think it's too late to have the wedding here at the house instead of at a church? Oh. Uh... I mean, I know it's a lot more work for us... well, and for you, obviously... but we'll keep it small, just family and just a few friends. Yeah. I think that would be lovely. You think dad would be okay with it? He'd be as happy about it as I am. Well, cool. Great, thanks. I'm gonna go call Online Radio and tell her. 181.FM - POWER 181 What the hell?! I'm not talking to you. Well, so you just disappear on me for two hours? I wanted to be by myself. I thought you were dead. Okay? Dead. Well, now you know how I felt when your freaking helicopter went down and I didn't know if you were on it. And how I'm gonna feel every day when you're gone! Okay. But I... shouldn't have done that to you.
